Diagnose and fix Catalyst setup issues. Validates tools, database, config, OTel, direnv, the Catalyst Cloud replica mirror, and thoughts. Automatically fixes what it can — creates directories, initializes the database, sets WAL mode, runs migrations. Use for new installs, upgrades, or when something isn't working.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Setup Catalyst
Diagnose the full Catalyst environment, fix everything fixable, and verify the fixes worked.
## Phase 1: Diagnose
Locate and run the health check script:
```bash
source "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/foundry}/scripts/require-catalyst-dev.sh" \
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/foundry}" || exit 1
bash "${CATALYST_DEV_SCRIPTS}/check-setup.sh" 2>&1 || true
```
Categorize every warning/failure into **Auto-fixable**, **Needs user input**, or **Manual only**.
## Before trusting the replica: detect whether this host is cloud-mirrored
Some checks below (Linear workspace state, `botUserId`) read `~/catalyst/catalyst-replica.db`. Don't assume it's authoritative — probe presence + freshness (reuse the existing freshness-gate helper) and the opt-in runtime-config marker first, and fall back loudly when either is missing. This is a checked, recoverable assumption, not a silent one — full detection steps, the loud-fallback wording, and why the fallback is a non-fleet answer only: [references/cloud-detection.md](references/cloud-detection.md).
## Phase 2: Fix

How to install
mdr add coalesce-labs/catalyst/setup-catalyst@sha256:3d06dda442e63629The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.cb86e8e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
